It is interesting to note that Costco is still selling the Michelin mxm4 tires that were std on the '06 four years ago.

BUT, for a few dollars less, you can special order the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S which is the top rated tire in the Ultra high performance category according to tire rack. And they can be had in the 225/50/17 size.

Why Costco does this - I don't know since the mxm4 is generally thought of as what it is: a factory installed tire - mediocre at best.

I've read that OEM tires are built with a different compound than aftermarket replacements. One shouldn't judge a tire that is OEM. Aftermarkets can and will be better.

BTW...curious...why was this moved so fast?

"Search is your friend" . . . Seems like more and more topics are moving out of the sonata area and to the abyss where no one travels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif)
